I noticed the steam stats jumped with the new patch. Then fell back to the lower number.

Personally I think it is the rage factor. The game is all about offense and using the numerous tricks to bypass parries.

Make it a real sword fighting, allow people who play defensively and like to have a more mental attack strategy succeed - at least for a couple of parries…

Right now its all about the high rankers bypassing any parry - regardless of well timed or not - to get the most kills. Facehugging MAAs that jump and hit you in the back are my personal favorite.

You do realize it’s the middle of the work week, right?

Player counts are not going to suddenly jump really high, let alone stay high, during the middle of the work week. It’s Wednesday here in Australia and I probably won’t get online to try out the new patch until the weekend. I imagine it’ll be much the same for most others.

I don’t play anymore because the game is in such a trainwreck of a state. No dev support (it took 4 months to release 1 patch), no content updates of any kind to keep the game fresh, and every server is just full of exploiters where it’s not even fun to play and bother trying to deal with them.

True, they skipped February (or you can could say they skipped January) and true you could say they could release patches faster…but you can’t say there’s no dev support (and it certainly didn’t take 4 months to release a patch). And you can’t even say there hasn’t been any new content…why do i even bother responding.
